Like many of us, I m sure, I have a great interest in the life-sized replica cetaceans that have often been made for museum displays.

Delphinapterus leucas mother and calf. The models were destined for display in a special beluga exhibition, scheduled to open last month, at the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre (PWNHC) at Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, and successfully arrived there in April.
